ADB manufactures TV receivers for many world markets including the
US cable industry. S&T and UniSoft have been using the iCAN 3200
OCAP box for a number of years. This product has been particularly
versatile for demonstrations and testing purposes. The iCAN 3200 is
being superseded by a new OCAP product, the 7850C.
As stated above, the ADB series of set-top-boxes run middleware implemented by Osmosys. |
SysMedia has expertise in development of MHP and OCAP applications. They
offer a
teletext
